Johnno's Recovery - Anguilla

My father's business, Johnno's Beach Stop, and the neighboring business, Dad's (please visit Dad's Facebook page for updates and ways to support their rebuilding efforts), burned to the ground in the early hours of July 11th, 2018.  It's a huge relief to be able to report that no one was hurt.  

Calls of concern have been pouring in, and we know friends of Johnno's, Sandy Ground and Anguilla are anxious to share love and encouragement, and are looking for ways to help.

My family and I are mobilizing funds for a rebuild and hope to get Johnno's up and running - both for the long run, and in the very short term (in whatever way), in time for August Monday and Carnival 2018, major annual events in Anguilla.

Johnno's was built in 1983 and was the island's first beach bar - it is a true Anguilla landmark.  We know hearts are breaking around the world over this news, and we want to do all we can to get Johnno's back in business.  If you've known my dad and his business over the years, you know he's consistently been the first to get things going after a disaster.  He's always done it on his own, without insurance, but this time he's going to need some help.  

Please visit the Johnno's Facebook page: @johnnosbeachstop to send your thoughts and good wishes, and to help get the word out about this recovery effort.

We are so grateful for your help and support!
